This is a blog post of epic proportions. I listened to the last half hour of the radio show on 4BC on the day and was so excited for the big event. I wish I had been able to drop around to see for myself. I love the helicopter pad. It's such a powerful image, the big H. And I love that the up-lights on the columns look like gold detailing. Your mothers painting is very beautiful xx

Wonderful! Congratulations on all you've achieved. The old house is looking wonderful, and you've had a great celebration to start off the new chapter in her life. So happy for you that you've had a piece of your mother's art returned to you as well, you can rebuild a building, but the loss of personal things is what hits the hardest. It's a beautiful painting and looking very at home in the sparkling new HH. xx

How special a moment in your life, lots of reflection of the past an much to happen in the future an amazing story of a 'grand dame', hope you get time to 'catch your breath' thanks for the wonderful story of HH's history.Brisbane

some residents in Brisbane are planning to renovate their kitchens, there are several service providers to choose from.There are a number of companies that are ready to offer services with modern equipment, excellent materials and trained and talented workers. Residents can select a company after getting to learn their features

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.

About Me

This is the story of a unique Brisbane Heritage Home. The 19-bedroom house, constructed in 1864, was purchased in late 2012 in memory of my mother. It was the same story exactly 100 years ago when Mary Weinholt purchased the house in memory of her mother. Honouring her vision, my intention is to return Hanworth to its original glory and once again be part of the Brisbane community. Progress was interrupted on 19 March 2013 when an arsonist set fire to the new renovations, devastating 70% of the home. This is a story from the heart - about the Grand Lady, her caretaker (that is me HH), my family, team, friends, the renovators, supporters, community and the house that will become a home for many more women in the years to come. And of course Superstar Tea Cosy (STC) who has come along for the ride!
